"Later he [Jimi] came to visit our cubicle on Charles Street [near Seventh Avenue] with his friend, drummer Buddy Miles. Jimi was wearing green velvet pants -all decked out- on his way to a party with Buddy. (The only thing that Buddy said was 'Hi, Frank,' after which he sat on the couch, leaned back and passed out, snoring.) They were there for an hour and a half. Buddy had a nice nap, and Hendrix ripped his pants at the crotch while demonstrating a dance step. Gail sewed them up for him. When it was time to leave he said, 'Come on, Buddy.' The snoring stopped, and they left".

- the Real Frank Zappa Book (pp. 94-95).

and this was during the Mothers Of Invention stint at the Garrick Theatre, New York, 1967, where Hendrix apparently sat in with them.

Quote:

[Ozzy Osbourne] admits he had two embarrassing encounters with misinterpreting the lyrics of others. Once he struck up a conversation with the late Frank Zappa about Zappa's satirical "Moving To Montana." [sic) "I told him I thought it was about cocaine dealing," Osbourne recalls. "He said it was about a dental floss tycoon. I felt like a dick."

With Sting singing on Broadway The Hardway, Tina Turner on backing vocals on Apostrophe (apparently) Shuggie Otis on Hot Rats and getting Grand Funk Railroad to record 'Rubber Neck' on Good Singin' Good Playin', his contemporaries were maybe a bit wary of committing to perform with FZ.

If my memory serves me right, the Jack Bruce input on Apostrophe (bass soloing, essentially) came about because Jack himself said he would rather just jam, than be given a 'part' to perform.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Van Morrison on Dead Girls of London?

pp. 78-80
"Two days later Led Zeppelin's sojourn in Seattle proved to be the end of their reputation as normal humans. Seattle was where The Shark Episode took place.
...
Back at the hotel the band started drinking. Richard Cole says that what happened later was his fault. "The sharks thing happened at the Edgewater Inn in Seattle. How it came about is that in 1968 I was with Terry Reid, supporting the Moody Blues in Seattle, and their road manager told me the band should stay at the Edgewater Inn, because there's a tackle shop in the lobby and you can fish right out the window of the hotel. I said, 'Go on, fuck off, ya cunt.' He said, 'Come on, Richard, I'm not kidding, it's true.' So the next time I was in Seattle was with Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge, and we started to catch sharks out the window. By this time the tours were more and more risque, and you could do what you liked with the girls who showed up at the hotel. For me, that second fucking Led Zeppelin tour was the fucking best time of my life. That was the one. We were hot and on our way up, but no one was watching too closely. So you could fucking play. And these birds were coming up to my suite wanting to fuck, and me and Bonzo were quite serious about catching these fish." What happened next isn't really clear. One girl, a pretty young groupie with red hair, was disrobed and tied to the bed. According to the legend of the Shark Episode, Led Zeppelin then proceded to stuff pieces of shark into her vagina and rectum.
Richard Cole says it didn't happen that way. "It wasn't Bonzo, it was me. Robert and Bonzo didn't know anything, they were kids. It wasn't shark parts anyway: It was the nose that got put in. Yeah, the shark was alive! It wasn't dead! We caught a big lot of sharks, at least two dozen, stuck coat hangers through the gills and left 'em in the closet... But the true shark story was that it wasn't even a shark. It was a red snapper and the chick happened to be a fucking redheaded broad with a ginger pussy. And that is the truth. Bonzo was in the room, but I did it. Mark Stein [of Vanilla Fudge] filmed the whole thing. And she loved it. It was like, 'You'd like a bit of fucking, eh? Let's see how your red snapper likes this red snapper!' That was it. It was the nose of the fish, and that girl must have come 20 times. I'm not saying the chick wasn't drunk, I'm not saying that any of us weren't drunk. But it was nothing malicious or harmful, no way! No one was ever hurt. She might have been hit by a shark a few times for disobeying orders, but she didn't get hurt."
and on pages 337-338:
In 1989,
"...
When the microphones were on, Robert [Plant] claimed to have forgotten Zeppelin's raucous younger days. When the taperecorders were put away, he regaled the press with lurid, funny stories of hotel-room rapine. He also revealed that some of the band's wives, including his own, were present during the fabled Shark Episode back in the misty days of 1969."
